JACKSON HEWETT: As cash moves toward extinction, it's time to lift the veil on payment costs
As Bitcoin — a completely unnecessary piece of tech — soars to $A180,000 on little more than FOMO, it's worth revisiting what its spruikers once promised. Remember blockchain? The decentralised online record book that everyone can see, no one can change, and that updates automatically as transactions happen, was billed as the promised land of friction-less payments. Crypto evangelists told us Bitcoin, and the slew of derivative cryptocurrencies, were vital for the digital age because they were the gateway to a future of real-time, AI-powered transactions and seamless capitalism. A big claim. Yet here we are on outdated payment platforms, still forking out $60 a year each in sneaky surcharges — or $1.2 billion across the country. So credit to the Reserve Bank for taking the bit between the teeth and proposing to scrap surcharges altogether. In an era where the country is crying out for productivity-boosting reforms, here's one that delivers for consumers and may even force some long-overdue innovation in how payments are processed. 'Removing surcharging would make card payments simpler, more transparent and help to increase competition in the card payments system,' the RBA says in its review of merchant card payment costs. Alongside the surcharge ban, the Bank has proposed capping interchange fees, mandating least-cost routing, and requiring banks and payment providers to clearly disclose the fees they charge merchants. The aim: expose a murky system to sunlight and stop billions in hidden costs being quietly passed onto the public. Because it's always the least powerful who end up clipped — and nowhere is that clearer than in how card issuers treat small businesses. The RBA highlights the stark disparity in fees. Large merchants with scale and savvy payments teams can negotiate all-in processing costs well below 0.5 per cent. Small businesses — your local butcher, café or florist — often pay two or three times that. Total fees of 1.5 to 2 per cent per transaction aren't uncommon. That's why it's often the corner store that has to slap a handwritten sign next to the EFTPOS machine spelling out the surcharge. They cop the higher fees — and the customer complaints. The Council of Small Business Organisations Australia says removing surcharges won't fix the problem, just bury it in the price tag. 'The reality is that these fees will still be paid, just not disclosed. That cost will be baked into the price of coffee, groceries, and services across the country,' said COSBOA chair Matthew Addison. So how much should the customer be footing, really? According to the RBA, the average fee for a small business is around 1.6 per cent. That's an extra $1.60 on the $100 flowers you bought mum for Mother's Day. But the wholesale cost of that transaction — the actual interchange fee — is just 8 cents today, and could fall to 6 cents for debit cards and 0.5 per cent for credit if the RBA gets its way. Multiply that margin across the 1.3 billion card transactions processed every month in Australia and the scale of extraction becomes clear. EFTPOS provider Tyro, whose shares briefly fell on the news before rebounding, welcomed the shake-up. Chief executive John Davey said the changes would force bundled service providers to get real about their pricing. 'Businesses are suddenly going to be invoiced on a monthly basis with a fee. And I would expect that they'll be looking for the best deal they can get, and that will create competition and opportunity,' he said. But there's a twist in the tale for consumers: those fees help bankroll credit card reward schemes. 'One of the things about interchange that's probably not well understood is that it is funding a lot of the rewards programs that many of us use day to day,' Mr Davey said. 'So yes, maybe I'm being surcharged, but it's also funding a benefit I'm receiving.' In other words, expect reward points to get stingier if those margins tighten. Until then — and with changes not likely to come in before 2027 — consumers may be better off using a reward credit card rather than debit, so long as they pay it off in full each month. According to the RBA's retail payments data, EFTPOS still offers the cheapest route for merchants at 0.42 per cent per transaction, compared with 0.49 per cent for Visa and 0.56 per cent for Mastercard. AMEX, with its more generous reward structure, averages 1.35 per cent. But it's not just card costs under pressure. Cash is quickly vanishing — down to 13 per cent of all transactions and expected to fall to just 4 per cent by the end of the decade. Its infrastructure is in crisis: Armaguard, which moves 90 per cent of Australia's physical money, has had to be bailed out twice in two years by the banks and major retailers just to keep the wheels turning. Even the RBA and the banks concede the system is unsustainable. But they also acknowledge that cash still matters — as a backup, a store of value, and a critical tool for vulnerable communities. Which is why getting the card payment system right is so important. We're building the rails of a near-cashless economy, and too much of the current system is riddled with hidden margins and soft monopolies. If we want a more productive economy — one that's fairer, more competitive, and more efficient — it's time to bring payment costs down and transparency up. The blockchain crowd promised that. The Reserve Bank might actually deliver it.

LED TVs are typically the most budget-friendly TVs you can buy, however, they tend to have lower colour accuracy and lack the true blacks found in OLED TVs, resulting in less contrast. OLED TVs are meanwhile more expensive than LED and QLED TVs – but, if you're after exceptional picture quality, OLED is the way to go. OLED TVs have individual pixels that are self-lit, producing perfect blacks and incredible contrast. QLED sits somewhere in between the two, using traditional LCD panels lit by LEDs with an added quantum dot layer. They produce a wider range of colours and offer better overall brightness compared to OLED. However, they also have less accurate black tones. Essentially, if you're looking for the best picture quality available, OLED TVs are your best option. If you want a brighter display that's more budget friendly, QLED could be a better choice. If you're looking for value and a wide range of screen sizes, LED models are meanwhile worth a look in. DO YOU REALLY NEED TO USE A SOUNDBAR WITH YOUR TV? While it is not a necessity to use a soundbar when watching your TV, there are many benefits to using one in your living room or home cinema. Improving sound quality: The biggest benefit to adding a soundbar to your TV set-up is how well all your favourite shows, movies and video games will sound. TVs generally lack bass, so this additional will amp up the volume and improve the clarity of voices and dialogue. Similar to surround sound: Instead of filling your space with speaker, you can pretty much hear it all form every angle as the sound from soundbars (specifically those with DTS: X or Dolby Atmos) mimics a surround sound experience. Subwoofer connectivity: Not only are they easy to connect to your TV set, but they can also pair with subwoofers to add some extra oomph. Many also come with a subwoofer included to set-up straight away. Easy to use smart features: These high tech devices typically come with Wi-Fi access and connection to voice assistants like Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant as part of your smart home.

GM invests in LMH manganese batteries
Electric cars could become cheaper and more efficient through new technology with Australian minerals at its core. General Motors is leading a charge toward new batteries made with a high proportion of manganese produced in Western Australia's Pilbara region. The tech, which is also being pursued by Ford, promises to reduce dependence on cobalt and nickel supplies increasingly controlled by Chinese firms. The carmaker promises to make new Lithium Manganese-Rich (LMR) batteries that match the cost of existing Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries while delivering significantly more range. Which means that, mile for mile, the LMR batteries are cheaper than existing tech. Andy Oury, battery engineer and business planning manager for General Motors in Detroit, told Australian reporters 'this is a big deal'. 'That's going to help us get battery costs that are comparable to LFP with significantly higher energy density,' he said. 'There is hundreds of pounds of weight savings for the same amount of range when you go from LFP to LMR.' GM is working with LG in a joint venture called Ultium Cells to make the tech a reality. MORE: Why China is winning the EV race Ford is also investing in manganese batteries. The brand's chief executive, Jim Farley, recently told US media that difficulties securing lithium and other minerals made battery production a 'hand-to-mouth' proposition. Ford chief financial officer Sherry House told reporters that rare earth materials in China had to go through a difficult export control and administrative process before reaching Wester brands. Kushal Narayanaswamy, director of advanced battery cell engineering for GM, wrote in May that 'LMR is going to make it possible for GM to offer EVs with premium range at considerably lower cost. We can't wait.' Lower prices are just the beginning. While General Motors representatives are reluctant to talk up a tech war with China, EV experts are quick to point out the major upside of LMR batteries. 🇰🇸GM’S NEW BATTERY TECH COULD MAKE GAS CARS OBSOLETE - AND CHINA LESS RELEVANT GM says it’s cracked the EV code: a new lithium manganese-rich (LMR) battery that’s 30% more energy-dense and just as cheap to make. No cobalt dependency, no China-controlled patents, and fewer… — Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) May 13, 2025 Wired says successful implementation of the tech 'could be a game changer' that would 'circumvent China's stranglehold on intellectual property for EV batteries'. Inside EVs points out that 'China holds a commanding grip on the raw materials that power most electric vehicles sold in the U.S. and around the world', which is why Charged EVs says shifting to manganese-rich battery chemistry could 'provide a way to break China's dominance of the market'. Australia has an enormous role to play in the pivot to LMH batteries. GM has invested in ASX-listed mining firm Element 25, forging an agreement for the Western Australia-based company to supply enough manganese sulfate to put 1 million electric cars on the road. Madeleine King, Minister for Resources and Northern Australia, announced on Tuesday that Element 25's Butcherbird manganese project in the Pilbara secured $50 million in support through the a loan by the government's Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility. Element 25 managing director Justin Brown said on X that it is a 'pivotal step in the delivery of what is going to be a game-changing project for the company', and a 'key step in our journey to become an end to end, vertically integrated refiner of manganese into high purity battery products for electric vehicle battery manufacturing.'
